On the eleventh day of the first lunar month, because Jiujiang, the fief of King Linjiang, suffered a rare snowstorm in a century, freezing many people to death or frostbite, King Linjiang submitted a petition requesting to leave Beijing early and rush to his fief.
Emperor Longqing approved it and appointed Ouyang Zhengde, the left vice minister of the Ministry of Works, as the chief envoy to accompany Prince Linjiang to Jiujiang to provide disaster relief and protect the people.
Finally, she was allowed to leave Beijing by imperial decree, but Princess Linjiang was still not happy.
Both of her sons had to stay in the capital.
To make matters worse, Empress Fang issued an imperial decree from the palace, reprimanding her for failing to discipline her daughter-in-law and allowing her to stir up trouble and gossip.
In this dynasty, there has never been an empress who issued an edict to reprimand her sisters-in-law.
She became unique.
Princess Linjiang was about to leave the capital, yet she was humiliated like this. She was so angry and anxious that she almost fell ill.
She had already had a conflict with her husband over her eldest son's matter. The day before, she had been advising her son and daughter-in-law to be careful with their words and actions in the capital. In the blink of an eye, she was slapped in the face and was so angry that she didn't know what to do.
Even Nanny Fang couldn't help but sigh: "The Crown Prince's Consort is too impatient..."
If she could keep her cool, she wouldn't gossip and tell Princess Yonghe that Wei An and Shen Chen were having an affair.
Without even thinking about it, Princess Yonghe was obviously in love with Shen Chen. How many times had she been rejected by Shen Chen? She still ran to Shen Chen again and again.
Princess Xianrong thought she could use this to stab Wei An in the back, but she didn't think about whether Princess Yonghe was willing to be her gun - if she admitted the relationship between Shen Chen and Wei An, what would Princess Yonghe become
The Crown Prince's Consort is really too incompetent.
Princess Linjiang held up her head and felt a headache. She was the tallest among the short ones. Compared with Li Gui Niang, she had always been satisfied with County Lady Xianrong. After all, no matter what, Li Gui Niang always did some wrong things, but County Lady Xianrong was much more virtuous.
But she didn't expect that this virtuous daughter-in-law gave her such a big gift as soon as she came home, leaving her unable to raise her head when she left.
"Where is the Crown Prince's Consort?" She let go of her hand and looked up at Nanny Fang, her voice a little low: "Where is she now?"
Nanny Fang bent down and coughed: "I'm waiting outside..."
After the angel came to the palace, the Crown Prince's wife received the news and rushed over. She had been waiting outside, but Princess Linjiang was not in the mood and did not see her.
"Let her in." Princess Linjiang said in a muffled voice with a cold expression.
She didn't care what purpose Princess Xianrong had in saying those words to Princess Yonghe, but since this matter affected the palace, she had to intervene.
She was originally worried about leaving the capital, always fearing that something might happen to her two sons, and what if Princess Xianrong continued to be so reckless and offend people everywhere.
She couldn't even think of having peace of mind.
Nanny Fang answered yes, quickly turned around and led the Fairy Princess in, then walked out and closed the door.
As soon as Princess Xianrong entered the room, she knelt down in front of Princess Linjiang, bit her lip, and kowtowed to Princess Linjiang to apologize with great grievance and helplessness.
She just wanted to put some words in front of Princess Yonghe, so that Princess Yonghe would hate Wei An and give up on Shen Chen.
Who would have thought that Princess Yonghe would actually cause trouble for Wei An and report the matter to Queen Fang.
As soon as the angel from the palace arrived, she knew that things were not going well - her mother was already in a bad situation, and her husband was having an unpleasant quarrel with his parents-in-law...
She knelt tremblingly in front of Princess Linjiang and told her everything about her plan. At the end, she couldn't help crying: "I didn't expect this to turn out like this..."
Princess Linjiang didn't want to listen anymore. She looked at Xianrong County Lady coldly and sneered, "What about what happened during the wedding of Prince Zheng?"
During Prince Zheng's wedding, he bribed the servants of the Mei family to poison Mei Ying and framed Wei An
Lady Xianrong opened her eyes wide, feeling somewhat at a loss.
From then on, Princess Linjiang never mentioned the incident again, and she thought that Princess Linjiang really didn't know the cause and effect of the incident.
She was speechless for a moment, and after a moment of silence, she said, "I did this to deal with Wei An."
Thinking that Princess Linjiang didn't quite understand, she simply laid it out, telling Princess Linjiang about the previous grievances with Wei An, as well as the relationship between Wei An and Shen Chen: "Prince Zheng thinks highly of Wei An, and Wei An has a close relationship with Shen Chen..."
This makes sense, but this way, Shen Chen is involved again.
Princess Linjiang's headache became even worse. In the end, she did not accuse anyone. She just smiled bitterly and shook her head: "Even if that's the case, it's really stupid for you to do this. Did you deal with Wei An?"
Instead, he was reported to Queen Fang and suffered a huge loss of face.
Princess Xianrong was extremely frightened and admitted her mistake in a low voice.
Prince Linjiang didn't care much about this matter and surprisingly was not angry.
The calmer he was, the more frightened and nervous Princess Linjiang became. After sending away Princess Xianrong, she heard that Prince Linjiang went to Concubine Yu, and her face did not look good. Because of Chu Jingxing's matter, Prince Linjiang seemed to be more and more distant from her.
Recently, the number of visits to Concubine Yu has gradually increased.
The eldest son was deep-minded, and the younger son felt that she was partial to the eldest son and was narrow-minded and refused to get close to her. Even her husband became estranged from her because of this.
Now her eldest son finally got married, but this wife was not someone she could rest assured about. She was really overwhelmed and buried her head in her palms and choked up after a long time: "She is really a worry..."
Prince Linjiang was also sneering at Concubine Yu: "One or two of them, they are all a worry to me."
Concubine Yu's heart moved, knowing that he was talking about the Crown Prince and the Crown Prince's Concubine, and she said sincerely: "The Crown Prince is young, it is inevitable that he will be arrogant at times, and the Crown Prince's Concubine is the respected county lady... After a few days, everything will be fine."
These words of comfort did not comfort King Linjiang. His brows were tightly furrowed and did not relax for a long time.
Chu Jingxing acts without rules and is cold-blooded. Now it seems that his wife is not a clear-headed person either. She even dares to go to Princess Yonghe and instigate her to deal with Shen Chen and Wei An. She really has ulterior motives.
Both husband and wife are so narrow-minded. If they really come to power in the future, how could they possibly treat his other children well
What else can we expect from people who can even frame their younger brothers who grew up with them
He leaned back in his chair without saying anything. After a long while, he asked Concubine Yu: "Have you packed your things?"
Concubine Yu agreed and reassured him: "Everything has been packed, don't worry." She paused and said: "As for Concubine De... I went to the palace a few days ago, and what she prepared... is almost done."
